two green thumbs (Live) Lyrics

Like two carrots grown into one

Our leaves and petioles braid

So green and serine under sunny skies

But in the dirt's depth we shine

All the same or might as well be

The nightshade's morning glory face

Sugar stashing their better selfs

It seems for their bitter selves

Bitter selves

Years we'll spend digging up

The same gladiolus blooms

Deep crimson inflorescence

Seeking structure in a wire wall

Blushing like ribald rhubarb

Mistook coy kale

Inspired by this lurid act

Seeks love to soak the soil

Soak the soil

A love unfurls and starts to grow

Right beneath the gardeners toes

A bountiful harvest gives to the next

Store theirs seeds and plant their death

Their death

For love is a compost heap

Table scrapes and egg shells

Black gold steams as the root tips shoot

And a scene pains of ash and soot

Splendid how with all this dirt and rot

Air churns to fill our sails

We fix and sow all we reap

The tea bags steep, flowers reek

Reek

A love unfurls and starts to grow

Right beneath the gardeners toes

A lovely harvest gives to the next

Store theirs seeds and plant their death

Your death

My death

Our death
